Engine speed while driving (vehicles with a Multidrive or an automatic
transmission)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation
to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
When the accelerator pedal is released
When the brake pedal is depressed while “SPORT” mode is selected
Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended
to observe:
For the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
For the first 1000 km (600 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, perform the bedding down.

If the engine does not start
The engine immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 123)
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Steering lock
When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off and then a door is
opened and closed, the steering lock function locks the steering wheel in its
current position. The steering lock is disabled when the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is operated again.
When the steering lock cannot be released
Steering lock motor overheat prevention
If the engine is started and stopped repeatedly in a short time, operation of
the steering lock motor is restricted to prevent overheating. If this occurs,
wait momentarily without operating the “ENGINE START STOP” switch. The
system will return to its normal condition in approximately 10 seconds.
When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch indicator flashes in orange
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional immediately.
The green indicator light on the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch will flash and a
message will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display. To free it, press the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch while
turning the steering wheel slightly in
either direction.

CAUTION
Caution while driving
If the vehicle is coasting without engine power, for example if the engine
stalls, do not open a door or operate the locks until the vehicle is completely
stopped in a safe condition. Driving with the steering locked may cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for more than 2 seconds,
or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. (P. 563)
However, do not touch the “ENGINE START STOP” switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause
loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode for long periods without the engine running.
When starting the engine
Do not race a cold engine.
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
“ENGINE START STOP” switch operation
If you feel something catching or sense irregular resistance when operating
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch, then there may be a malfunction. Imme-
diately contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

If the automatic transmission temperature warning message is dis-
played
AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the “M” position cancels the function.)
If the automatic transmission fluid tem-
perature warning message is displayed
while driving, make sure you return to
normal “D” position driving and reduce
speed by easing off the accelerator pedal.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, shift the
shift lever to the “P” position and let the
engine idle until the warning message is
extinguished.
When the warning message is no longer
shown, the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message is not extin-
guished even after a short time, have
your vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
